of Excellence in Pharmacy Education
It’s hard to imagine just how many lives have been impacted because of the positive, whole-person-centered approach of our graduates over the last two decades. While our profession has its challenges, the future is bright, and we are intentionally creating a preferred future here at LLUSP!
Loma Linda University School of Pharmacy admitted its first class in the Fall quarter of 2002. The Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree program was established to educate pharmacists in a Seventh-day Adventist Christian setting. Our graduates provide high quality pharmacy care as fully participating members of healthcare teams committed to whole-person care.
Pharmacists are firmly situated in this institution and many others in our region as essential members of the healthcare team — and the next 20 years look pretty exciting. Loma Linda University School of Pharmacy is actively engaged in the institution’s efforts to establish an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center. A new pharmacy practice outpatient group based within the school is being established and a brand-new competency-based curriculum is being designed for implementation in Fall of 2025 at the same time ACPE’s new accreditation standards take effect. We are growing our special certifications offered to our current students, and we plan to offer many of these to our alumni in the future with our enhanced continuing education offerings.
